Michelle Obama Video: The Speech, The Dream, The Cute Kids

Whit Honea — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:04:00 GMT

Hey, we haven't talked about Michelle Obama in hours! We're slipping.

Did you see her speech last night. It was a good one, there is no denying that, but the real capper was the pure joy and innocence brought to the stage by the arrival of her daughters- especially when they corrected their father via satellite at his own party. Hey, I thought, that's just like my house. My kids correct me all the time and we have DirecTV. Maybe I'll run for president!

Here's her speech, watch it instead of working.

Michelle Obama's Speech: Love and Family

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:44:00 GMT

While Michelle Obama's much-anticipated speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention will certainly address husband Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency, she will also focus on personal issues, most poignantly her love of family and of her enduring marriage.

According to excerpts of her speech received in advance, she speaks affectionately of her brother, Craig: "Each of us also comes here tonight by way of our own improbable journey. I come here tonight as a sister, blessed with a brother who is my mentor, my protector and my lifelong friend."

And of her husband of 16 years and her children, Malia Ann and Natasha, she says, "I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president. I come here as a Mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world – they’re the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future – and all our children’s future – is my stake in this election."

Michelle paints a loving portrait of Barack as a devoted father. “And in the end, after all that’s happened these past 19 months, the Barack Obama I know today is the same man I fell in love with 19 years ago. He’s the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital ten years ago this summer, inching along at a snail’s pace, peering anxiously at us in the rearview mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands, determined to give her everything he’d struggled so hard for himself, determined to give her what he never had: the affirming embrace of a father’s love.”

Is Michelle Obama Pregnant?

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:35:00 GMT

When Barack Obama wins the race for president will there be a new baby in the White House as well? Rumors are surfacing today that Obama's wife Michelle is pregnant. Hey, I don't make these rumors up, I just irresponsibly pass them on.

One theory is that the pregnancy rumors are coming from conservative radio talk show host and major gasbag Rush Limbaugh, who reportedly alluded to "an announcement" that Michelle will be making during her speech to the Democratic National Convention tonight. I'll bet Limbaugh got the info from his dealer.

So far there is no word from the Obama camp. Stay tuned to FameCrawler for more on this breaking story that seems to be totally untrue.
